LAURELHURST POST ACUTE & REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Laurelhurst Post Acute & Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating serious concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranked #57 out of 127 facilities in Oregon, they are in the top half, but this is overshadowed by a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 8 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, receiving 5 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 38%, which is lower than the state average, indicating that staff are experienced and familiar with residents. However, the facility has faced $33,319 in fines, which is concerning and suggests ongoing compliance issues. Specific incidents raised during inspections include a resident suffering skin tears after being improperly handled by staff and another resident experiencing multiple falls due to inadequate supervision and staffing levels, resulting in a serious injury. Overall, while the staffing quality is strong, significant weaknesses in care delivery and compliance remain.
